Article Synopsis
- Pearl oyster shells, often discarded as waste, contain a nacre extract (NE) that has been shown to have anti-aging effects when administered to mice.
- In a study on senescence-accelerated mice (SAMP8), NE improved aging-related symptoms like poor coat condition and muscle strength decline, indicating its potential benefits for overall health.
- NE not only suppressed aging markers in skeletal muscle and skin but also significantly extended the lifespan of the mice, highlighting its effectiveness as a multi-tissue anti-aging agent.
Pearl oyster shells comprise two layers, a prismatic and nacreous layer, of calcium carbonate. The nacreous layer has been used in Chinese medicine since ancient times. In this study, we investigated the effects of the extract from the nacreous layer of pearl oysters (nacre extract) on D-galactose-induced brain and skin aging.
